Are you bitter about your parents being low iq retards?

That's sad, user. You should lend her a hand.

>mother is a spiritual vibrations conspiracy theorist artist
>father is a jewish-buddhist pacifist medical practitioner

I don't know. I could have gotten it a lot worse.

I'm bitter that they were shit parents and forced me to move to a shitty country.

I'm bitter that when they were choosing where to move to in America from eastern european home country they chose Chicago instead of New York.

My father was a carpenter who never finished high school.

My mom has worked a variety of data-entry-tier jobs in her life.

I don't think it's a really big deal. I grew up in a fairly low socio-economic area, where almost nobody read anything (at all, not even pop trash), or had any inclination towards art or education. I somehow got out. I'm now at a uni with a lot of privileged liberal elites, most of whom list Murakami as their favorite author (not evening memeing).
From my experience, the privileged are much more concerned with appearing interested in literature and art than having their own developed taste.

my parents both teach english and humanities, I've recieved a better education just from them than most of my schooling

>parents are both smart and fostered in me a desire to read and learn at a young age, and I now genuinely enjoy discussing things with them

More bitter about the abuse and my inability to confront them about it. I show up to any holiday dinner with them and we just pretend like it never happened. Small talk and all.

wow. pay some bills you filthy leecher tendies-eating scum.

Dude, Chicago is on the brink of a fucking Renaissance. The music scene is booming, the art scene is coming to life, and all the crime is starting to drop. Yeah it's not perfect but there's so much untapped potential in this city and it's all about to surface. Just like the 90s were all about Seattle, it's gonna be Chicago's turn in the 20s. You're better off here than Jew York City.

Both my parents are writers

this tbqh

My pa is a 'socialist' who is obsessed with consumerist culture, i.e. he loves Ready Player One.
My ma is a supposed Buddhist who lives in vanity.
I'm thankful for both, but I can't help but feel like they're dumbasses at times.
That being said, I'm no better than them.

Chicago is way better than New York though

Mom is insanely smart and still likes to better herself. My dad used to be really booksmart but he stopped trying years ago and he's just embarrassing now.

I really stopped caring about my parents ideals as soon as i hit 20 and moved out of their house

My father is decently intelligent, although not in a literary sort of way. He's a manager of a large tech company and is often flying to China and doing business deals. My mother on the other hand used to work in retail. The other day she didn't even know what the word terrestrial meant. I'm not kidding. She's the sort of person that watches X-Factor. Also, both my parents like techno and hard trance... Sometimes I feel like I was adopted.

take solace in the fact that nobody would want to adopt a kid like you

Oh! I'm so shocked at such a hostile comment on Veeky Forums. This has really phased me. I'm never coming back here again. You've done me right in!

Yawn.

So, hold on, it's alright for everyone else to slag off their parents, but when I do it I'm called out for it? Okay. Cool.

got a (you) didn't i

yeah im picking on you specifically as an individual because of how much i know about you and your life

/thread

I don't really think my parents are very stupid. I do resent their permissible "just do what feels good maaan"-style parenting though, I wish I had been pushed to excel and taught more essential skills.

my dad's a genius, but my mom's not very smart.
yes, i do resent them for making me a midwit.

Sort of. Can never really have “deep” conversations with them. Mother doesn’t even read the news, for Pete’s sake. I got annoyed with her when I asked her about Bitcoin and she didn’t even know what it was. When she asked me to explain it to her, I declined and told her to look it up herself. Incidentally, my mother’s husband is a cheap faggot who watches tv every day and has an opinion on everything—a telltale sign of a fool. I remember he got mad at me for even suggesting Trump would get elected. Oddly enough, he hasn’t brought up politics around me ever since last November. Granted, I’m a first generation and American, and they came from nothing. But still.

>socialist
>consumerist
I'm not sure if you or your father know what socialism really is

Is your mom a milf?

Very, by father is a stupid and stubborn German and a dirty racemixer, my mother is alcoholic brain dead spic. It's like I've had to progress through life with thousand pound weights chained to my leg, yet still I go on.

Poor baby, looking for a daddy?

I also forgot to mention I'm the smartest retard you'll ever meet

It's funny you mention this user, has been on my thoughts recently. My parents both have grad degrees from a top 10 private school, non-ivy, and it was the first time, i.e. coming back from school for Christmas, I realized I was smarter than them. It was a very very weird feeling and made me realize responsibility in the world was based on intelligence, not drive on anything else. Also, there is something oldly satisfying about being able to be a pseudo-guardian over people that raised me with so much love, I'd say I'm bitter, but honestly, did I really ever think I'd get beyond mediocrity? Feels meaningful to me

I think my parents are bright but did not have access to college/university and had no structure to maintain what little ambition they held. The reason I am bitter, however, is when they were notified during my primary school years that my brother and I were 'gifted' and ought to attend a private boarding school. My parents believed keeping us in public school, allowing us to socialize with our friends, was the better option and disregarded the opportunity and the scholarship that went with it. That's a "well shit..." moment for me. I grew up in a fairly small town and I was the only one in my group of friends who made it to university. That gamble on 'better to socialize with the lay people' didn't amount to anything.

They're both brilliant and well read. I only have myself and my procrastination to blame for my failures.

It's great to have a jewish mother for her superior iq genetics. I blame my father's genetic for my slavic laziness.

Yes, especially my dad, he's fucking useless, never mentally went past 14.

I wish I had some structure in my childhood and was actually taught something, literally anything...

They're not, though.

intelligence is highly heritable. calling your parents dumb is a self-own.

My parents are both pretty smart people who are not intellectually inclined if that makes any sense. Like they're very observant, perceptive, and adaptable but they have no interest in any refined aspects of culture apart from having pretty good taste in music. Neither of them had an education in the humanities (my dad has an associate's from a community college and managed to eventually make a six figure yearly salary) so that may have something to do with it. Oh also they are Catholic and drink a lot of alcohol

Just think of how much more of a pretentious cunt you would be if you did go to that boarding school though

Not him, but don't have children.

If the implication is that one can have much higher IQ than their parents, isn't IQ supposed to be largely genetic(I don't know much about this, happy to be corrected)? If that's not the implication, why not just call everyone retarded directly?
